Best Laid Plans

Life is predictably unpredictable. You never know what is going to happen tomorrow. You'll notice the theme of this blog has been very much about sorting out life, pushing forward with motivation, trying to achieve what I want out of my future. That sort of thing. The lesson I've learnt this week is that you …

Practicing What I Preach

It might come as a shock but I'm a bit of a know it all, a self described good council for others without necessarily having the results to back it up... In the worst case, I can end up pushing my beliefs onto people; beliefs about happiness, positivity, and the way forward in life. As arrogant …

Standing Strong

It's important to note I'm not giving into weakness... At least it's important to me. Despite how hard today has been so far, and despite how hard it may or may not get as it continues, I am not breaking down into weakness. That's not who I am anymore. I'm writing for that reason. Like …

In Need of Air

So tonight's a strange one. I'd been planning a blog post about what a good and productive week I'd just had... But turns out I needed to blog a big more urgently... And about something else. I really just need to blog to get some air.  I'm not sure I even really want to rant …

Through the Long Days

We all have those long days. Days where you have too much to do, or you're stressed, or tired, or upset, or just bored. Days that don't fly by but instead drag unto infinity. When I woke up I could tell that today was going to be one of those days. I haven't been sleeping …

Fear of Missing Out

I briefly mentioned the "Fear of Missing Out" in my earlier post, but I wanted to touch on it some more. I feel some, definitely not all, but some of my negativity recently has stemmed from this fear. Or, more to the point, this jealousy. My friends are the sort of people that make plans …

Learning About Life

I keep having realisations... It's almost like everyday I'm stuck by something so completely obvious that I've just been too blind to recently see. It's probably because my eyes are much more open now, and I'm actively looking for these realisations. Take this weekend for example, namely Saturday night. I was looking forward to finally …

The Illusion of a Better Life

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” -Leo Tolstoy If this sounds reminiscent of one of my previous blogs please forgive me... I'm just still processing this. I think we all daydream of what we wish our lives to be like; living as Kings and Queens, astronauts, artists and …

Day 1 – The Change

Day 1 is off to a rough start, especially with the past revelations still fresh and raw; open wounds that can't easily be stitched or bandaged over. The sense of drive I felt yesterday is somewhat knocked back already and my confidence in myself is yet again challenged as I'm faced with decisions.... And whether …

Finding Myself; Becoming Me Again

I came here expecting a blank slate to write on; somewhere I could consolidate my thoughts and set myself a mission statement for moving forward. What I found instead were my old posts with messages still relevant to me today. Like a time capsule, or a message from a past me, saying "You fell this …
